The date of the City Election is Tuesday,
Oct. II.

AT an informal meeting few nights ago
prominent business man of this city, who had
quietly put in an appearance, rose and said
that while he was not in politics and had
never been asked to render any service or con-
tribute a cent to the Republican party, he
thought the present was a time when every
Republican and every good citizen should do
what he could to defeat the corrupt crew that
were trying to capture the city. With this
introduction he said. 'Here is my check for
800, to be used in legitimate campaign ex-
expenses, and if you think I ought to give
more let me know. I am also willing to serve
on any committee or do any work at the polls
on election day that may be assigned me-"
That was good speech, and good token of
sincerity. The money contribution was ap-
preciated, but the motive and spirit that
prompted it were even more gratifying. If
this spirit could be inspired into business men
generally there would be no doubt as to the

Reversible Politics.


Here, then. is the situations: Outside OF New
York Mr.. Clevcland's canvass Is conducted upon
the assumption that the party must take him,
willy nilly, because he is the only man able to
carry the Empire State with certainty. Demo
cratic unanimity, and perfect decorum In New
York on the other hand, his canvass proceeds on
tho ground that he is popular and strong in
other parts of the country to justify almost
any expedients for bringing New York into the
solid colImn.
For this sort of politics the photographers
have supplied various closely fitting descriptive
phrases. In some lines OF business, We suppose,
a game like this would be called confidence
game. But it Is politics sure enough any way;
and in our experience during many presidential
elections have never seen this sort OF politics
practised with more energy or less concealment

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND will ride from
Chattanooga to Atlanta by night, and without
a single stop. The journey will be made
through one continuous battle field. He will
not see Lookout Mountain or Missionary
r idge. General Boynton calls attention to
the remarkable fact that Mr. Cleveland, able
to command his time and train, will pass over
this historic panorama without so much as u
look. lie says:
Cover this line, where he will snore the
night away, more than $50, 600 men with four
hundred guns splendidly fought day and night
through four months for the mastery For
that time the sound of battle never ceased.
Every mile of the way is marked by field
works. which yet exist. Every stream is his
toric; every ridge battle line; every mount
ain worthy of pilgrimage. And yet the
presidential train will sweep over it with
occupants dead to every sentiment which the
scene would inspire in the heart of Union and
confederate veterans alike. II there is another
man In the country who would do this, when
time and train at his absolute control,
it would be interesting to have his name ard
Barnum would have them both. The ghosts
of the fifty thousand men who fell the
field through which this train will roll
on in the darkness should arrange themselves
along the line and point their bony fingers IN
scorn at this indifferent and stolid presl-
dental party. Could any one have made the
veterans of Thomas and Sherman and Scho-
field believe, they carried line after line
and won field after field, from Lookout
Mountain to Atlanta, that in less than
quarter of century President of the United
States would ride over the whole line of their
triumphs without curiosity enough to look at
a single foot of it?"

BESIDES the colonel of an Ohio regiment the

IF co-education of the sexes is right, why
should the trustees of Lincoln University, in
Nebraska, issue an order forbidding male and
female students from attending the same col
lege societies? Nearly all the students have
rebelled against the order and been suspended.
Their position is more consistent than that of
the trustees, though we pass no opinion on
the merits of the question.

A FEW days ago administration papers had
a good deal to say about the way in which
the President and Mr.. Carlisle were going to
''knock out" Mr.. Randall. Since the stories

circulation, the silence on the subject is OPP
pressive. If Mr.. Randall holds that letter, as
seems to be the case, and it is what it is re-

IT is safe to say that every hoodlum, every
tramp, every dead-beat, every saloon loafer,
every gutter wallower, that by hook or crook
can get in vote for Coy and his gang, will be
on hand on the day of the city election. If
the tax-paying voters of the city, those who
have a real interest in the city, will be as sure
to vote and use their influence as their inter-
terest requires they should, there viii be no
doubt as to the result. But they must not
neglect or forget.

THE Cincinnati Commercial Gazette il fearful
of trouble growing out of the Presidents visit to
Indianapolis Quoting from the published pro-
gramme the arrangements for the visits to the
residence of Mrs. Hendricks and to the home of
ex-senator Mcdonald, the c. G. says:
1--WE remember, with a sense of apprehension,
that when Mrs. Hendricks visited Washington q
few months ago, neither the President nor
any member of his Cabinet seemed to be aware
of her presence. Mrs. Hendricks has not met
Mrs. Cleveland, however, and the lady OF the
White House will, as soon as she is Introduced,
charm away all the shadows of difficulties.
But Governor Gray and Mcdonald not
happy in each others sight. Gray cut McDon-
AIDS political jueular vein last winter, and we
have this solid in formation by pneumatic tube:
VOORHEES, is McDonalds friend. Gray wants
the nomination for Vice President with C1eve-
land The Voorhees, movement is being worked
up to kill Gray off. In the meantime poor old
Joe Is celebrating Cleveland to be put in the
next Cabinet on the Supreme bench
There should be complete pacifcation at In
dianapols before the arrival of the President,
or before the critical time is over. Columbus,
be regarded as fortunate IN comparison"
1t will be observed that all the apprehensons
of a possible disturbance of the harmonies of
the occasion relate to party and personal consid-
erations. The non partisan features of the re-
ceptiou at Indianapolis will be great success;
the Republicans will see to that The Republic
ans are not embarrassed by any of these petty
annoyances, and can and will pay their respects
to the chief magistrate of the Nation with q sin
cerity and heartness to be commended 70 his
own party friends.
